That’s the convention but it’s far from ideal. While it helps to have the bargaining power and administration of a plan handled by a company such as one you work for, the actual costs of healthcare to you are completely up to that company and you are placed in unreasonable burdens when you switch from one employer to another (90 days waiting period plus crazy COBRA costs are onerous).
Your health care needs supersede the timeframes of your employment. There would be many improvements if we separated healthcare coverage from employment.
